'More To The Story': Family Of Man Killed In Carmichael Shootout With Detectives Criticizes Video Released Of Incident
CARMICHAEL (CBS13) – The family of Kershawn Geiger, the man killed in a Carmichael shootout with detectives, said the video of the incident released by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department Thursday leaves a lot of holes.
Surveillance video shows an intense gunbattle break out with at least 55 gunshots heard, sending dozens of people ducking for cover.
One shooter is seen grabbing a child and taking off in a silver sedan with another man. They were later tracked down in a blue car by two gang detectives.
What happens next is explained in a re-enactment video from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.
The driver was identified as Geiger, a 25-year-old parolee. Multiple shots were fired with Geiger being killed and one detective being hit.
Geiger's family says the re-enactment lacks transparency and accountability.
"I believe there is more to the story. I believe that there's no way individuals who have lied to communities, manipulated over and over again, would be outright truthful," a family member said Friday afternoon.
The sheriff's department said because the detectives were undercover, their cars don't have cameras.
The detective was taken to a hospital but is now recovering at home. The other suspect is now in jail.
